Gone Naked

Post by JetPilot »

Yep that's right, I have purchased an absolute beauty.
A 79 Kawasaki Z500A. Bike is in great condition for her age. Only 12500Ks on the clock and they are original.
A guy in Bathurst bought it new and hardly rode it (garaged for 10 years), sold it to a young fella at Wollongong who is now going overseas, so I bought it for a bargain price. Still has the original owners manual and warranty book. Purrs like a kitten. 4 into 1 sounds awesome.

O did I mention that its for my wife, who just got her licence. But I'm still gonna ride it every so often. ;)

Geez nice work mate. That looks really tidy and the Tranzac exhaust is pretty cool, in an olsd school kind of way. I had one on my Katana and it sounded bloody nice, slightly deafening but nice.
It's really all about standing around drinking Dave's beer.
